And the N___r [N word completely spelled out] never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting, On that horrid bust of Horace, just above my chamber door; And his lips, they have the snigger, of a worthless freeborn N____r [N word completely spelled out], And he swells his sombre figger, when I ask him, with a roar, "Will you blacks again be Cattle, as you used to be before?" Cries the Chattel, "Never more!" 4 3/4 x 7 1/2. Harper's Weekly and date are printed in the margin.
